    Cheers op - just picked up the shining, wizard of oz and scarface up.

    FYI: If original price is greater than £25 (which mine were) pre-discount then it counts for free delivery. Only problem is scarface will only ship to ireland if you choose amazon as the seller and they don't currently have it in stock so I'll have to wait a week or two for the delivery.

    http://www.blu-ray.com is a great site for reviews of Blu-Ray releases by the way. Info on video quality, audio quality, comparisons to other home video versions, extras etc.

    Most of their reviews are terrible, they involve little more than simply recounting the plot and there have been a number of questionable reviews of picture and audio quality.

    HMV have the same offer on, any 3 for 25 or 5 for 35.

    I use this for technical details and highdefdigest.com for reviews on quality of video and audio.

    I don't use it for reviews of the movies, just for info on different versions of releases for the film, encodings, sources, sound quality etc. You get a nice brief overview of whether or not it's worth getting on Blu-ray. For example: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Dont-Look-Now-Blu-ray/18547/

    The HMV sale is excellent, and it works out around the same price per blu-ray if you buy 5, but I couldn't find the 5 I was after in any one shop, and with the Amazon deal you only have to buy 3 to get the same per-movie price.

    The two sales are pretty much identical. Most of the ones in the amazon offer are in the HMV one.

    Its not the same offer.
    Different titles. Different pricing.

    At Amazon not at HMV...
    Heat, Senna, Goodfellas, The Raven, North by Northwest, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Scarface, One Day, etc.

    And thats just comparing the first 15 of almost 500 in the Amazon offer.

    Factor in postage and the offers are damn near the same price. And most of the films in the amazon offer are in the HMV offer. I picked up North by Nothwest, Scarface, Goodfellas and Senna over the past two months in HMV in the offer. I saw Contagion, the two Batman films and One Day in store today as part of the offer. Ended up grabbing both Batman films and another copy of Scarface as chrustmas gifts for people.

    All these offers by different companies are usually made up of the same titles. ASDA has all the Warners titles in the amazon and HMV offer in their 2 for 10 sale.

    Many titles are in both, yes, but in both sales you've got movies that aren't in the other. It depends what movies you're after.

    I'd earmarked Silence of the Lambs and Don't Look Now as two of the 5 I wanted in HMV but couldn't find them both in the same store. Then SotL seemed to go out of the sale on the HMV site and sold out where I'd seen it. On Amazon I can get it in this deal but can't get Don't Look Now, so I'm looking at Bullitt, The Matrix and The Shining instead.
